I'm so glad I didn't pay regular price for these! I got these in all three colors on clearance. When winter rolled around, the gray pair was good for 2-3 wears before the heel came off. The brown ones are still in one piece, as I've only worn them once, but the black ones are in pieces. The heel came off of the black ones as well and the inside of the heel was all crumbled. I've gotten quite a few pairs of boots from the Avenue. I've had a heel tap to come off one pair after wearing them once, but the way these literally fell apart really surprised me.

VERY VERY WIDE CALF !!! Not sure if I can keep them will have to try on with skinny jeans and leggings. Calf is so loose they look too big!Yes, I would recommend this to a friend ONLY IF YOUR CALF IS HUGE !!!!
